Nothing
This is a blog post about nothing. Nothing exciting is happening. Nothing nothing nothing. But, I have resolved to continue updating the blog so here you go.
Things in my non-exciting life:
1. $25 Bag o'books sale at Cokesbury. It was a feeding frenzy. We scared the manager.
No really. This is true. He was frightened of our zeal for the cheap, cheap books, and I got some good stuff: (non-geeks, avert your eyes) Blackwell's Companion to the Hellenistic World, Moltmann(!), Virtuoso Theology, Writings by Advocates of Peace, One Electorate Under God?, Simone Weil (!!!), Daniel Berrigan(!!), Taking Back Islam by Michael Wolfe!, the Christian and Anxiety, Marilyn McCourt Adams(theodicy!yay! last copy! there was a tussel, but I always win theodicial throw-downs), and Antagonists in the Church, written by Stephen's Ministry guy. All for $25. I win
2. The bird's nest is no longer in my window.
The pigeons, living in the alley on the one side of my building have become increasingly violent and desparate, possibly depressive, as the year has gone on. They have started throwing themselves into this one alley-window, where my AC unit is with ever-increasing velocity, and vigor, to the point where they broke the plexiglass panel on the one side that was BOLTED into the windowframe, and dislodged it. Now, mind you, it was only bolted by 2 bolts, but still. BOLTED. METAL.
Anyway, after their Flights of Doom into my window and air conditioner, the pigeons started to build a nest in the space between the AC and the wall. I thought this was a somewhat alarming development, since these are apparently emotionally unstable New York City birds that will risk death in order to get housing space. (or they're just like normal New Yorkers. hmmmm.) Either way, I didn't want small baby birds that close to whirring AC blades. So it got cleared out today. So long, kamikaze pigeons.
3. I finished one sock! I am sock knitting genius! And I'm almost half-way done with the other sock, so soon, they will be a pair. Just in time for the weather to be too warm for me to wear socks. This was clearly genius planning on my part. However, they look lovely. You should be sorry you can't see through your computer.
I preach on Sunday, so a sermon will follow shortly.
